I still strongly believe Generations was one of the best looking games of 2011 and will still look amazing for a considerable amount of time. The art direction was hit so perfectly and the bold use of stronger, defined colours with the right amount of detail just looks really good.

Skyrim can be so spooky at the times.

For example there is a cave with 4 witches,and they look so fucking nasty,at the time you are in that cave eary music is playing in the background,myst is everywhere in cave,then you sneak close enough to spot first witch in the distance,she is sitting at the fire..near her a spider,its like wtf people haha..Here i killed first one,took her head and run off.

Indeed. It's so nice I'm having a hard time putting it down. Exploring the caves and uncovering their mysteries is a lot of fun. Been crawling deeper and deeper into the mountain all night. Interacting with the local plant- and wildlife is an unusual experience as well, probably because for once you're not just shooting everything that comes into sight. Instead you're trying to bring the local ecosystem to life.

If you're the kind of person who, when he plays Doom, tries to get the enemies fighting eachother instead of engaging in the fight himself, then you'll love Waking Mars. Getting the whole Cycle of Life going is a big part of establishing a thriving ecosystem. It's emergent gameplay at it's best. Just nudge it in the right direction and watch events unfold.

While it's hard to tell from a Youtube video, and yes IV is impressive with ENB. I still think Most Wanted looks better, simply because it benefits from higher textures and better lighting etc. And plus you are using custom textures. Still looks nice though.

That is not 1080p unfortunately, youtube videos are never particularly good for graphics comparisons. That said, I still think MW looks better. Better road reflections, trees and things in the distance look nicer too. Plus that IV's slightly chugging framerate doesn't help
